Tag: Unholy Cross

Swedish power metal force, BLOODBOUND, return with their fourth full-length release since their inception in 2006 this June. Entitled Unholy Cross, BLOODBOUND‘s crisp, powerful style is embodied here at its finest hour yet within these 11 anthems, while the band also introduce new vocalist Patrik Johansson (ex-Dawn Of Silence) for the first time on record here. Mixed and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren (Sonic Syndicate, Scar Symmetry), Unholy Cross resurrects the magical feeling heard on the band’s adored Nosferatu album, yet with an updated approach. The album’s cover art was created by Mark “The Masque” Wilkinson, known for his work designing art for Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and countless other major acts.

After having shared the stage with the likes of Evergrey, Paul Di’Anno and Hammerfall on European tours, as well major Euro festivals including Sweden Rock Fest, BLOODBOUND are not only well-known for their excellent live performances, but also for their massive stage mascot known as “The Nos,” totally in the vein of Iron Maiden’s “Eddie.”

AFM Records will present the latest full-length from ever-morphing Swedish unit LAKE OF TEARS on June 14 in North America, marking the band’s first new album in over four years. This latest dark offering from LAKE OF TEARS, entitled Illwill, as always, shows their sound moving into new directions from all previous recordings, yet still holds true to the central core sound fans have come to expect with each release.

Now in their nineteenth year since formation in 2002, the band continue to incorporate somewhat progressive elements and spacious textures to their rock and metal backbone, their widely-appreciated versatility continually landing them appearances at varied major European festivals including Wacken Open Air, Tuska Open Air and Sweden Rock Festival. Recorded and produced at the renowned Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Paradise Lost, Soilwork, Amon Amarth, Katatonia) with Jens Bogren, Illwill demonstrates what LAKE OF TEARS stand for well to their diehard fanbase and the new fans that will surely be drawn into the album’s ten engrossing tracks.
